1. Environmental Policy? Seattle?

Surely Dave "Cap & Trade" Reichert will be there to soak up something, anything, to help him justify his vote for Cap & Trade.

2. @1 - In this district Reichert had no choice if he wants to be reelected. It's simple politics. He cynically voted YES knowing that it will never pass the Conference committee. That way he gets kudos for being "green" and not wrecking the economy. Win-win, and we get his NO votes on ObamaCare.

4. Every so often regardless of seeming political advantages or cleverness, a leader has to come out on the record for principle.
Reichert burned his bridges by showing those who fought for him that he is not their man.
Anyone stupid enough to believe in human-caused Global Warming is beyond human help.

Reichert will not be re-elected.

Elect Rizzo (John Jensen who advertises that he wants to murder conservatives) for all I care.
Economically liberals are stupid and easy to exploit so make all you can and stay out of the way of the flying sh*t.
I say to hell with Washington State and let them burner down.

5. You flat earthers are a bunch of treasonous idiots. I dare you to bring in a viable wackjob to challenge Reichert. If the moron wins, the dems will crush you. Wake up and smell the coffee, and pull your heads out of the sand (and your a$$)
